Baby Hats

Here is a new baby hat that I crocheted using a pattern that I’ve wanted to try for some time now. I worked even on 55 stitches which resulted in a hat circumstance of 17 inches. I did do a few mods to the pattern as follows:
I did not finish off the yarn after round 13. I just turn to inside to start first earflap. Stitch counts in earflaps are off as mentioned by others by 1. Right earflap round 8 calls for Hdcs around entire hat edge after right flap is done but I crocheted all SCs around to finish off.

I did six 17 inch long strands for the tie but that still made for short ties in my opinion. After braiding, my ties are 6 inches long.

Hat length is 7 inches with 17” cir. Hoping it works for a 2 year old in a Christmas shoebox for Operation Christmas Child.

The free earflap crochet pattern is found here at Ravelry.

Next is one of my crochet patterns that I crocheted for a newborn baby.

Crocheted Baby Hats

Here are my latest baby hats that I crocheted for the local hospital nursery. This will probably be my last batch as the weather is warming up and I will be doing other items for them.

First are two newborn baby hats that feature a scalloped edging. This edging is easy and fun to add to any baby hat. Here is the free crochet pattern for the scalloped baby hat.

Next are some ribbed band baby hats. First is the single post newborn hat pattern.

I thing that I did do differently than the original pattern as written is that I crocheted them seamless. I have been playing around with this idea for awhile. I begin the hat by
